v0.7.1-alpha.1
6f9a313

First public source alpha of Donify, a modular C++ drone flight simulator for Unreal Engine 5.8.1 on Linux.

Gameplay

Watch the approved 84-second gameplay demo with game audio. The recording shows real simulation with clearly identified scripted controls: takeoff, stabilized flight, a waypoint mission excerpt, manual takeover and landing.

Included

  • Three Unreal modules: flight dynamics, audio and game integration.
  • 240 Hz dynamics, stabilized controls, assisted takeoff/landing, weather and battery simulation.
  • FPV/follow cameras, telemetry cockpit, zoomable aerial map and an alpine village.
  • MIT project license, third-party notices, English onboarding and detailed French guides.
  • Immutable R2 asset packs with archive and per-file SHA-256 verification. No cloud credentials are needed to play.

Install from source

Install Unreal Engine 5.8.1 and its Linux toolchain first. Then:

git clone --branch v0.7.1-alpha.1 https://github.com/w4coder/donify.git
cd donify
export DONIFY_ENGINE_DIR="/path/to/UnrealEngine5.8"
python3 Scripts/assets.py fetch
./Scripts/build.sh
./Scripts/launch.sh

Runtime assets download separately: approximately 757 MB. Optional authoring sources add approximately 955 MB (python3 Scripts/assets.py fetch --pack sources). Unreal Engine remains a separately licensed dependency.

Verified

Clean-source build succeeded using anonymous R2 downloads: 310 files verified. All 17 runtime markers and 27 Python tooling tests passed. GitHub CI passed. Validation scope and evidence.

This is a source alpha, without a validated standalone game package. Other operating systems, GPUs and physical gamepad calibration remain unverified. Contribute by module.
